Hi Dennis,
Yes, you are oh so right. Like most things to do with planes/plane
connections, it is the weakest point of the whole package. The worst of which
is that it won't DRC highlight plane disconnects on vias or pads if they are
disconnected from the plane by other anti-pads or relief pad connections around
or near them on planes. They just pretend anything connecting to a plane is
automatically connected. Guaranteed, no if ands or buts about it.
On the other hand, they highlight as a warning or violation every time
a split plane boundary touches the board edge or a via (direct connect via and
it's edge doesn't even touch the split plane boundary) is even close to the
split plane boundary.
Sincerely,

i always thought that was sort of fishy too
but Yves, don't forget about 'select net', that may help you or you may
be well aware of it already
